The Witcher, book 1 

This was an interesting reading experience, as the miniseries covers the stories in this book.  My mental image was very nearly exactly the same as the show throughout.  Netflix did a good job with the adaptation.   

There are some translation artifacts that caught my eye - curse words translated directly across that wouldn't be used similarly in English, names translated when they really didn't need to be, things like that.  Nothing bad, just a thing.

I'm curious to see how things go when I get to new material.  This was good, but felt a bit like a re-read, rather than original work.
